considerin you dont know what dudes going through, why do you think you have the right to speak on how he should deal with it?
OverviewAccording to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, social phobia is a persistent fear of one or more situations in which the person is exposed to possible scrutiny by others and fears that he or she may do something or act in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing. [2] For one to be social phobic, exposure to the feared situation must provoke anxiety and the person must recognize this anxiety as irrational (although this may be absent in children). If another disorder is present, the social phobic fear is unrelated to it. For instance, if a person has a history of panic attacks, having a panic attack must not be the sufferer's fear. Sufferers are typically more self-conscious and self-attentive than others. [3] As a result, social phobics tend to limit or remove themselves from situations where they may be subject to evaluation. Sufferers often recognize their fear is excessive or irrational, yet can't seem to break out of the cycle. As such, the diagnosis of social phobia is made only when the fear leads to avoiding occupational functions, social activities, or relationships with others.[4]
^It's my opinion that believing you can't break out of it sets you back a whole lot. Like I said, deal with it how you like homie, I'm just completely against meds for "disorders" such as these...PeACe
.I'm not swaying any opinions, I just don't see why Al Bundy gets really mad and ends up locking threads when someone like me or acgrundy have a difference of opinion in regards to his condition.
If somebody has a damaged frontal lobe, or not a fully developed frontal lobe it's literally impossible for that person to function normally.
Physically, handicaps are just more visible. But the brain is physical, too. Of course there are doctors who do unnecessary shit to make money, natural cures not revealed to selll products etc etc... I'm aware of all of that and I didn't go to see a doctor for anything (and I mean anything) apart from the time when I had to check if I had a fracture in my cheekbone since I was like 15. That's not what I'm arguing against. The point is that some people DO have mental conditions that can't be "overcome", can't be changed entirely. People who are "normal" tend to not understand this. Again, the brain is just an organ... and if it's genetically destined to be a certain way, there is no way to fully solve the issue. Just look at all the people who have a very strong urge to kidnap, rape and kill little boys. They can't be helped. They get put in special institutions instead of jail and all, but in the end no matter what is done, those people just aren't normal. And they will never be. Of course drugs won't solve the problem, but they can make life easier. Some problems can't be solved. Ever. It's a frustrating thought, but it's a reality many people can't deal with.
hey bundy have you ever gone to a party or club drunk? can you talk to people when you are drunk? i am curious and not hating
ahhh yes, the Tom Cruise of the DUBCC... not a ounce of medical training but knows more on the subject then anyone else. As someone that went thru real bad depression and still battles it everyday it aint as easy to change as you would like to think. Do you think people that go thru depression are happy being like that, enjoy being like that, want to be like that ? No we dont, we would give out left fuckin nut to turn it off like that, but it dont work like that. And dont give me some bullshit about how you know what its like to be depressed b/c if you didnt you wouldnt be making some bull shit statement like this.
Purely taking drugs to mask the problem probably isn't the answer, but if you combine them with therapy(or ideas you can get from therapy, you don't need the doctor, just the methods) you can improve greatly and get off the drugs. NIK and Grundy are right that you can force yourself to overcome the problem, but the drugs make it easier to get yourself into the situations you need to be in to improve things, a therapist would focus you on facing your fears and desensitizing yourself to it. Habits are formed after like 21 days right? There are a lot of ways to train your brain, try doing something that would make you anxious once a day for 21 days straight and see if you notice yourself getting more comfortable doing them.
I'm not trying to mask the problem. I'm using them to try and break my habits. It makes it easier to talk to people and just be calm. I won't be taking them forever.
